Paprika Traiteur

The kitchen of Paprika, an Indian restaurant in the historic former Brasserie Müller in Neuchâtel, also cooks for weddings, and a wedding menu built on curries, tandoori and spiced street-food bites is worth the trip for couples who want something warmer than a standard buffet. The business works three ways: eat in at the restaurant, order takeaway, or have Paprika cook for your event. Its catering brings the essence of Indian cooking to occasions from intimate meals to big celebrations. The website is in French (all pages read November 2026).

25 years in the former Brasserie Müller

Paprika has been in the historic building of the former Brasserie Müller in Neuchâtel for 25 years, and in its kitchen Chef Zahid Khan works with curry, ginger, turmeric, garam masala and many other spices. The cooking is full of flavor "sans jamais enflammer le palais", never setting the palate on fire, a kindness to any guests who shy away from heat. A newsletter announces new dishes, special menus and events.

The restaurant sits at Rue de l'Évole 39 and is open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, 18:00 to 22:00, and closed on Sunday and Monday. The cooking pairs a rich tradition with a modern touch. The menus run from spicy street-food bites and creamy curries to the great tandoori classics. A second outlet, Paprika In & Out at Rue de Flandres 2, serves the same flavors in a faster format: you order and pay online and collect at a set time through its click-and-collect system, at lunch from 11:00 Monday to Saturday, until 14:00 through Thursday and 14:30 on Friday and Saturday, and in the evenings from 18:00 Tuesday to Saturday, until 21:30 midweek and 22:00 on Friday and Saturday. It is closed on Sunday and has its own number, (032) 724 80 80.

Elaborate Indian menus brought to your venue

Catering covers a wedding, birthday, corporate event or private gathering, with weddings named first. The offer is elaborate Indian menus and personalized setups, and the kitchen team prepares every dish, from starters to desserts, so the hosts can enjoy the moment. It is a complete service that brings the food directly to your venue, with a careful presentation. You can personalize the menu and estimate costs by the number of guests. The dishes themselves are on a separate catering menu. Platters of tandoori and bowls of creamy curry arriving at your reception, from a kitchen that has stood in the same building for 25 years, make a warm centerpiece for the meal.

A three-step request form

Planning from a distance runs through the form, which is the same on the homepage and the catering page. It asks first whether you are a company or an individual, with your name, e-mail and phone, then for a billing address, then for event details: the postcode of the event, the approximate number of guests, the venue, the date, and whether the event is in the morning, afternoon or evening, followed by a comments box. Everything the kitchen needs for a first quote goes in one submission, and Paprika replies with a catering proposal tailored to the event.

Orders a day ahead, seven days a week

Two timing facts are published. Catering orders should be placed at least one day before the date of the event; if the event is less than a week away, or you have questions, call (032) 724 06 80. The catering service is available seven days a week, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which gives a wedding weekend room to include a welcome breakfast or a farewell brunch. Prices and minimum guest numbers are not published.

A different region from Gstaad's Indian caterer

Mango Restaurant, an Indian haute-cuisine caterer from Gstaad, handles weddings for up to 1,000 guests (read November 2026). Paprika is based in Neuchâtel and publishes no capacity ceiling on its catering page, so for couples who want Indian food at the wedding the two sit in different regions, Gstaad and Neuchâtel. For a wedding in the Neuchâtel area, Paprika's long-established kitchen is the local answer.
